Despite Minneapolitans' insatiable love of the outdoors (and fishing in particular), there aren't many gear shops for flyfishermen right in the heart of the city. So, those of us who don't like driving out to the suburbs were pumped when Mend Provisions opened in the Standish-Ericsson neighborhood of South Minneapolis, offering gear, rods, everything you need for fly tying and a nicely edited selection of menswear. Classes are offered for neophytes and the welcome you'll get is enthusiastic and genuine.
